Description

23/11 2011 MI 16:36 FÄX +43 7242 239 945 Trodftt Innovation Center 0005/059

The invention relates to a stamp, a stamp pad and a method for changing an ink pad in a stamp and for mounting a Stcmpelplatte, according to the preambles of claims l, 9,16,22, 23,27,28, 32,33 and 42nd

From DE 1 276 662 B a self-inking stamp is known in which the stamp plate in the rest position at an angle of 90 ° to the footprint, in particular stamp surface, is positioned. In this case, the stamp plate is located on the ink pad arranged parallel to receive color. For the pivoting movement from the rest position, starting to produce a stamp impression, the printing plate carrier, on which the stamp plate is fixed for the stamp impression, has two guide pins on each side. These guide pins are arranged in a T-shaped guide groove, in particular a vertical and Horizontalfuhrungsnut in a lower part of the self-inking stamp. Furthermore, the pressure plate carrier has an axis on which the upper part acts with an obliquely arranged guide channel during the punch movement. Thus, in a stamping operation, the printing plate support is first spaced from the stamp pad via the guide channel and the guide groove, whereupon, after vertical guidance of one of the two guide pins in cooperation with the further guide pin in the horizontal guide groove, a rotational movement is initiated. After completion of the rotational movement or after reaching the vertical guide by the second guide pin, the printing plate support is now moved along the Vertikalfuhrungsnut for generating the stamp imprint.

The disadvantage here is that in such a design of Selbstfärbestempels a relatively high effort to produce the stamp imprint is required. Another disadvantage is that the design is very large in relation to the stamp plate size due to the large number of necessary guides and mechanical parts, since only a small area of the footprint is actually available for the impression. In addition, an increased force during stamping is required by this construction, as caused by the guide pins and pins frictional forces. In addition, it is possible that due to possible tilting in the T-shaped guide groove no fluid movement is achieved. 23/11/2011 16:37

Another similar construction is known from EP 0 249 901 A2, in which in turn the printing plate support rests against the stamping pad at a 90 ° angle to the contact surface in the rest position. For the rotary mechanism, two guide pins are again provided per side, wherein a guide pin is arranged on the lower part and the second guide pin on the pressure plate carrier. The guide pin arranged on the lower part engages in a guideway on the pressure plate carrier, whereas the guide pin arranged on the pressure plate carrier engages in guide grooves on the lower and upper part. All guideways are arranged to each other such that a horizontal lifting, pivoting in vertical position and vertical movement of the printing plate support to produce a stamp imprint is achieved.

The disadvantage here again that the pressure plate carrier or the stamp plate can only use a very small area of the footprint, since due to the movement mechanism, a large space requirement for the spacing of the pillow and the pivoting movement is required.

In addition, from US 5,740,737 A a stamp is known in which the stamp plate is arranged in the starting position vertically and for coloring the stamp plate now instead of the ink pad impregnated with a color roller. The stamp plate is in the rest position not or only partially to the role, so that only during the stamping process by the vertical displacement of the stamp plate along the roll color can be absorbed. The rotational movement is introduced here via a plurality of pins and guides only after the color pickup, that is, the stamp plate is first moved vertically at an angle of 90 ° to the footprint on the role and then initiated the turning mechanism and stamping process.

The disadvantage here is that no optimal and uniform ink absorption is achieved by such a design, since the stamp plate is not present in the rest position on the ink pad soaked with ink. If, on the other hand, the roller is partly resting on the stamp plate, an uneven ink absorption takes place at all, so that an irregular stamp image is produced.

From US 6,834,584 Bl a stamp with a 90 ° turn for producing a stamp imprint without ink pad is known. In such a stamp is the 23/11/2011 16:38

Pressure plate carrier designed so that the stamp plate simultaneously forms the stamp image and Farbspcichcr. It is thus not a self-ink stamp. Due to the fact that the pressure plate carrier does not require an ink pad in this design and therefore does not have to be lifted from this and also structurally no space for an ink pad must be provided or, the ink pad can not hinder the turning mechanism can be here by appropriate training of guideways and - elements realize a simple pivoting mechanism with only one guide pin.

Finally, as is the case, for example, from AT 503 827 B1, stamps of a different design with a first housing part, a second housing part pivotable relative to the first housing part, and with a stamp plate surrounding a first axis in a first end portion of the first housing part from a rest position a functional position is pivotally known. The stamp plate is located in the rest position between the first and second housing part and in the functional position, the first housing part forms a triangle via the stamp plate with the second housing part.

The disadvantage here is that such stamps are always designed only for a stamping process and the user for a further stamping operation must reset the stamp for receiving ink in the rest position manually.

In the prior art described above, with a so-called 90 ° turning mechanism, the stamp pad is changed so that the stamp pad must be pulled down from the footprint of the stamp. Thus, the user must hold the stamp in one hand and with the other hand he can then pull the ink pad out of a slot. However, in order for the user to hold the ink pad with two fingers to pull out, it must first squeeze the ink pad out of the mouth of the manhole, which makes replacement difficult.

Another very significant disadvantage of such punches is that in the said prior art of seibstfarbenden stamps in the rest position stamp plate is pressed by the printing plate support against the pad of the ink pad, so that a simple extraction of the ink pad from the shaft is not possible because of this is blocked by the stamp plate. The user has to put the stamp together easily 23/11/2011 16:38

No.: R577 P.007 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16i38 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0008/059 ** * * * * ν * * * *; * Press so that the platen support moves slightly towards the plunger position is moved and thus the stamp plate is lifted from the ink pad so that now the user can pull out the stamp plate. However, the raised position must be respected, ie the user must constantly compress the stamp and at the same time extract the ink pad or the stamp must be equipped with a fixing device with which the stamp can be spun in a certain position, so that the user no longer must be compressed, but after locking the ink pad can be pulled out. The installation of such a fixing device requires a significant overhead and increased costs significantly. Also, the structure of the stamp is complicated.

It can therefore be said that the operator comfort, especially when exchanging the stamp pad, leaves something to be desired in the handled stamp and the user often gets dirty fingers when changing stamps, as this can not properly attack the stamp pad. By simultaneously pressing with both hands, the user often does not have the best view of the ink pad, so that it easily engages in the color-saturated pillow.

The object of the invention is to provide a stamp, a stamp pad for the stamp, and a method for changing the stamp pad and for mounting a stamp plate, in which a simple, compact and inexpensive construction, a size and weight reduction and easy handling is achieved. Another object is to use as much as possible of the footprint of the stamp for the stamp impression. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in the introduction.

The objects of the invention are achieved for a self-inking stamp in that rotation of the printing plate carrier takes place via two guide pins, wherein in each case a guide pin is arranged on a side surface of the printing plate carrier, and these simultaneously engage in guide grooves in the upper and lower part.

The advantage here is that such a design of a self-inking stamp with only two guide pin, so only one Fühiungsaclise or only one pivot point, a more compact pivoting of the printing plate support from the rest position in the 23/11/2011 16:39

Actuating position is achieved and thus a larger part of the footprint for the stamp imprint is available. In this case, a special movement is created by the interaction of two guide grooves in different components of the punch, so that the space required for the rotational movement of the printing plate support is minimized. Furthermore, a more uniform motion sequence is achieved in the stamping process, since not, as known from the prior art, several axes must be pivoted in an alternating order and direction. Especially today, it is becoming increasingly important to produce compact, resource-saving and functional components. In a compact design, as is achieved with a self-inking stamp with a pressure plate carrier, which is positioned at rest of the punch between 80a and 135 ° to the footprint, but so far had a reduced footprint in relation to the footprint be accepted, as this over several Axles required an increased space requirement for the turning mechanism of the pressure plate carrier. The inventive design with only one axis now a flowing pivotal movement is achieved at the same time low material requirements or small size, Thus, a large part of the footprint for the stamp imprint can be used.

An embodiment in which the guide groove in the upper part is aligned substantially horizontally is advantageous, since a preferred horizontal displacement is generated in a simple manner when the plunger is actuated. This causes the printing plate support or the ink pad is first lifted from the insert of the ink pad.

In an embodiment in which at the beginning of the guide, starting from the rest position, this rising, in particular arcuate, is formed, is achieved in an advantageous manner that the movement of the upper part is compensated by the increase of the guide by pressing the punch, and Thus, only a horizontal movement is created for the printing plate support or the stamp plate, that is compensated by the rising guide the compression of the punch, which would actually cause a corresponding vertical displacement for the printing plate support.

However, an embodiment in which the further guide groove is oriented essentially vertically is also advantageous, since a simple vertical movement can thereby be generated. 23/11/2011 16:40

No .: R577 P.009 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16:40 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0010/059

It is advantageous in a configuration in which the guide groove in the footprint associated end portion extends vertically, thereby providing a stamp image, a correspondingly defined vertical path is available, so that sufficient speed and pressure to produce a beautiful stamp image can be constructed. Thus, the stamp image quality is significantly improved.

In an embodiment in which the guide groove in the lower part, starting from the rest position, is sloping and extends vertically to the footprint in the end area, it is advantageously achieved that a harmonious movement sequence is created in interaction with the further guide groove in the upper part and thus the stamp comfort is improved. This can also lead to no tilting in the process, since all guides are rounded and no abrupt changes in motion are needed.

However, it is also advantageous training in which a paragraph is arranged in the lower part, the plates as a counter-holder or stop for printing carrier is tedious, as this in a simple and cost-effective manner, a defined rotational movement can be generated in a particular direction.

However, it is also advantageous if in the front of the lower part of a receiving device is arranged for an ink pad to be used, as this high accessibility is created, whereby the operation is much easier. Also, it is achieved that the handling is improved.

Further advantageous embodiments and advantages can be taken from the description.

Furthermore, the objects of the invention for a self-inking stamp are achieved in that the receiving device for the ink pad is designed such that in the rest position of the stamp free accessibility is given to the printing plate support on the front of the lower part. 23/11/2011 16:40

No .: R577 P.010 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16:40 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0011/059 ** · · * * * .......... 7 .... ,

An advantage of the lateral accessibility is that the ink pad or the ink pad carrier can be inserted or clamped from the outside parallel to the pressure plate carrier, ie in the 90 ° direction to the printing plate support, the fact that the ink pad does not have to be pushed over the footprint in the die housing , for which in turn a part of the footprint must be kept free, a maximum utilization of the footprint for the stamp impression is achieved. Furthermore, a simpler mounting of the ink pad is achieved on the side surface and can be done with no ink pad on the side surface in the rest position of the punch, the text plate mounting on the printing plates carrier. In addition, the pressure plate carrier with the stamp plate need not be extra spaced from the ink pad by means of separate, manually operated locking device when changing pillows or Kissennachtränken. With the construction according to the invention thus better handling and better utilization of the footprint for the stamp impression is achieved. In addition, the material requirement for the stamp housing is reduced by the missing side surface of the lower part of the stamp housing. Another advantage is that by the parallel removal of the ink pad from the printing plate support, so after release from the receiving device for the ink pad, the user can attack this without any major problems and thus gets no dirty fingers. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the user to operate or hold the punch with the second hand, but the punch can be set normally in the rest position and the punch pad can be easily removed laterally from the side surface. This free accessibility via the side surface still has the further advantage that at the same time a free accessibility on the side surface is created to the printing plate support when not in use ink pad. In particular, it is achieved by such a design that no fixing device for locking the stamp in a certain position is required for the change process, whereby the production costs are substantially reduced and the mechanism is clearly simplified. Also required buttons or slides can be saved on the outside of the punch.

In a development in which the receiving device is arranged for an inserted ink pad in the front of the base, is achieved in an advantageous manner that the user can now almost completely see the ink pad from the outside, so that it can handle the ink pad better when changing and thus less pollution is caused. 23/11/2011 16:41

No .: R577 P.011 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16:41 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0012/059

An advantage is an embodiment in which one or more supporting surfaces for the contact or support of an ink pad are arranged in the receiving device, as this prevents in a simple form that the ink pad can fall into the interior of the lower part. Thus, the user does not need to take into account the positioning when inserting the ink pad.

But it is also an embodiment of advantage in which the receiving device comprises means for positioning, holding and releasably fixing an ink pad, so that a secure attachment of the ink pad is created in the receiving device. In the design of the means must be taken to ensure that they also serve against compressive stress, since in this solution, the ink pad change, so the direction equal to the pressurization by the pressure plate carrier or the stamp plate arranged thereon.

In an embodiment in which the means is formed as a recess and / or projection, an exact positioning is achieved in a simple manner. This is important insofar as, for example, multi-colored ink pads are used. Also can be prevented by such means by appropriate arrangement an incorrect insertion of the ink pad in the receiving device.

But it is also advantageous that a lower edge of the front of the upper part in the rest position with the upper edge of the receiving device closes or projects only slightly beyond, as this ensures that the ink pad is not covered by the upper part and thus can be easily removed. If the upper edge of the upper part protrude too far beyond the lower part, a change of the ink pad in the rest position would no longer be possible.

But it is also advantageous if the receiving device is designed for inserting or removing an ink pad in the rest position opposite direction to the mounting surface of the printing plate support, since thereby the ease of use can be substantially increased. 23/11/2011 16:42

The objects of the invention are also achieved by a stamp having the features that the receiving device is designed such that in the rest position of the punch free accessibility is given to the pressure plate carrier on top of the lower part.

It is advantageous in this case that in the case of a stamp designed in this way for the pad changing operation, no spacing of the printing plate carrier from the stamp pad is required any more, but the stamp pad can be moved over the outside without additional effort in the rest position, ie. over the top of the lower part, can be removed or inserted. As a result, a simplified handling when changing pillows is achieved. In addition, the material requirement for the stamp housing is reduced by the missing upper side of the lower part of the stamp housing. In such a design, a punch with a turning mechanism between 135 ° to 225 °, in particular by about 180 °, used, that is, the printing plate support for a stamping process completes a complete revolution. So far, in such known from the prior art stamp pad change never takes place in the rest position, but these were always locked in a certain position on an existing fixing, so that for the removal of the stamp plate or the pressure plate carrier no longer rests on the ink pad. In the case of the stamp according to the invention, the stamp plate bears against the stamp pad, the stamp pad being simply removed in parallel thereto.

In an embodiment in which the receiving device for an ink pad to be used is arranged in the upper side of the lower part, it is advantageous that easier accessibility is achieved as a result. At the same time the view of the ink pad is improved, whereby the change comfort is increased.

But it is also advantageous that in the Aufhahmevorrichtung one or more support surfaces are arranged to bear an ink pad, as a simple method was created that the ink pad at a certain distance, which thus always remains the same to the printing plate support or the thereto arranged stamp plate is arranged.

It is also advantageous if the receiving device has means for positioning, holding and releasably fixing an ink pad, since this ensures that only 23/11/2011 16:43

No.: R577 P.013 / 059 23/11 2011 WED 16:43 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0014/059 Ψ * · · * · * »» · · * * * * ** .... ... 10 ..... corresponding stamp pads can be used so that the high quality standard of the stamp is guaranteed.

In an embodiment in which the means is designed as a recess and / or projection, it is advantageously achieved that an exact position is thereby determined and at the same time a corresponding hold or fixation is achieved.

But it is also more advantageous if the receiving device is designed to insert or remove an ink pad in the rest position opposite direction to the mounting surface of the printing plate support, since thereby no change of the stamp in a certain position is necessary when changing, since the ink pad in the direction of the applied force or pressure is taken. This makes an ink pad change possible at any time. By this training is further achieved that can be dispensed with in the construction of the stamp on a fixing device entirely.

The objects of the invention are also achieved by an ink pad having the features that on at least one of the side surfaces of the ink pad support a deformable means for fixing in a stamp is arranged, wherein the means is in the form of a bracket and the bracket a projection or a recess is arranged.

It is advantageous in the combination of a deformable means with a positioning element designed in particular in the form of recesses and / or elevations that a simple assembly is possible when inserting the stamp pad into a stamp and also a precise positioning of the stamp pad in the stamp housing. The positioning as well as the deformable means ensure a tight fit and secure mounting of the ink pad against the pressing force of the printing plate support or the stamp plate mounted thereon. The arrangement of several means on different positions on the ink pad ensures that the ink pad can not be used wrong. Furthermore, it is achieved that certain rigid means are responsible for the positioning in the receiving device and at least one further deformable means for releasing from the receiving device is responsible. Thus, a secure insertion and exchange of the ink pad is achieved with maximum ease of use 23/11/2011 16:43

No.: R577 P.014 / 059 23/11 2011 WED 16:43 fax +43 7242 239 945 Irodat Innovation Center 0015/059 4 · · · · · · · * .......... 11 ... ..

In addition, the objects of the invention are also achieved by an ink pad such that a deformable means for fixing in a stamp is arranged on at least one of the side surfaces of the stamp pad carrier and on at least one further side surface at least one positioning, in particular in the form of a recess and / or collection or projection is arranged.

The advantage here is that by compressing the deformable means a simple insertion or removal of the ink pad is achieved in or out of a stamp and secured when inserting the ink pad after solving the contact pressure the ink pad in position against the force of the pressure plate carrier or the printing or stamping plate is held. It is essential in the inventive solution that on the means the ink pad is fixed in the receiving device provided because of the printing plate support or the stamp plate a continuous pressure on the ink pad is exercised, which, however, can be taken parallel to it, ie Pressure is exerted in the direction in which the ink pad is removed, so that a secure fixation is necessary, otherwise the ink pad can be pressed from the slide plate carrier from the receiving device. The training as a bracket has the advantage that in the edge region, a support of the ink pad is achieved and in the center of the bracket, this can be easily deformed.

Due to the advantageous development in which the bracket is designed in the form of a handle, it is achieved that a simple release of the ink pad from the receiving device is achieved in a stamp.

Another advantage is an embodiment in which it is arranged bracket over the entire longitudinal side, as this exact positioning is possible, since the bracket also acts as a spacer to the receiving device. Thus, the ink pad can be rotated in the AufnahmevoiTichtung.

But it is also an embodiment of advantage, in which on the opposite side of the bracket further means for positioning and / or support in the form of projections and / or recesses are arranged, as this ensures that the 23/11/2011 16: 44

Ink pad can only be used in a specific position in a recording device.

The objects of the invention are also achieved by a method for changing an ink pad in a stamp such that in the rest position the ink pad is released from its position in the receiving device and then removed in the opposite direction to the underside of the printing plate support from the receiving device.

The advantage here is that for the pad change process no spacing of the printing plate support from the ink pad and no locking position in which the ink pad is kept distanced from the printing plate support, more is required. Furthermore, free accessibility to the stamp plate of the stamp is achieved by the method according to the invention when the ink pad is removed. In addition, a lower material requirement is given, since no shaft for the ink pad or the ink pad carrier must be provided, but the ink pad or the ink pad support replaced that side on which the pressure plate carrier rests against the punch housing. It is essential in the method for changing an ink pad that this no longer has to be pulled out of a slot, but that the ink pad is simply removed after release from the receiving device parallel to the pressure plate carrier. In this case, the printing plate support or the stamp plate remain applied to the ink pad during removal, that is, the stamp remain in the rest position. The arrangement of the receiving device for the ink pad on the side surface is further achieved that the operator comfort is substantially increased, since the user has a free accessibility to most of the ink pad and not, as known from the prior art, only a small part of Stamp pad can access, since the majority of the ink pad is arranged in the prior art in the shaft.

Furthermore, the objects of the invention are also achieved by a method for mounting a stamp plate in that the mounting of the stamp plate in the rest position on the receiving device in the lower part and the receiving device for receiving an ink pad and / or a cover plate, which upon actuation of the stamp in the recording device remain, is formed. 23/11/2011 16:45

It is advantageous here that the user now no longer has to fix the stamp in a certain position, in particular in the stamp position, but can easily reach the printing plate carrier via the opening of the receiving device in the side surface, ie, that free accessibility via the side surface given is. Thus, the user can simply einfubren by the receiving device, the stamp plate and attach to the mounting plate of the printing plate support. Since all this is done in the rest position, a fixing device for locking the stamp can be omitted in a certain position, which significantly reduces the cost and size of such a stamp.

A further development, according to which the receiving device for the ink pad is formed such that in the rest position of the stamp free access to the ink pad on the front of the lower part is given, has the advantage that the change process is much easier because not more, as from the Prior art, the ink pad must be pulled out of a slot, previously the punch must be adjusted and fixed in a change position, so that the printing plate support is lifted to change. In this type of change process, the stamp can be simply left in the rest position, since despite adjacent pressure plate carrier or Stempelplattc the change process can be performed.

Another advantage is a development in which the receiving device is arranged for free access to the ink pad on the upper side of the lower part, since here again in the rest position, the ink pad can be removed at the adjacent die plate.

Finally, a further development is advantageous in the case of non-inserted ink pad on the recording device free access to the printing plates carrier or arranged on the printing plate carrier stamp plate is achieved because thereby the user at any time in the rest position by the recording device to the printing plate support or to the Stick plate, which increases the ease of use during assembly or disassembly or other maintenance.

Furthermore, the objects of the invention are achieved by a stamp, in which a receiving device for a stamp pad is arranged on the front and in the receiving device means for fixing and removing the ink pad in the printing direction of the printing plate support are arranged in the idle state. 23/11/2011 16:46

It is advantageous hereby that a simple and user-friendly removal of the stamp pad is made possible because the user has very good access. Also, the insertion of the ink pad is much easier. Both for removal and for insertion, it is not necessary that the punch must be fixed in a specific position. Thus, the structure is simplified by the omission of a fixing device.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a self-inking stamp in which a resilient means is arranged in the lower part, which projects into a receiving device for the ink pad or approximately closes with this, and at a further side on the lower part at least one further means for positioning and holding the inkpad are arranged. It is advantageous here that a pressure or a force is exerted on an inserted stamp pad by the use of a resilient means 74, whereby this is pressed in a certain position. This ensures that a very firm and stable positioning or attachment for the ink pad is created. Also, the inaccuracies occurring in the production or the required for the snapping margins can white compensated so that the ink pad is securely held in the stamp, without it can slide back and forth in the recording device. Also meet the previously abgchandelten advantages in such a solution.

Furthermore, an embodiment is advantageous in which the resilient means is formed by a projection and this is arranged on a surface of the lower part, as a pressure in the direction of contact surface is created when inserting the ink pad, and at the same time sufficient space for forming the resilient means is available.

In an embodiment in which the further means, in particular two further recesses, are arranged on a longitudinal web of the lower part, it is advantageously achieved that a second attachment point for the stamp pad is thereby created.

An advantage is an embodiment in which two further recesses for positioning and holding the ink pad are arranged on the surface, since thereby falling out of the ink pad can be prevented. 23/11/2011 16:46

Also advantageous is an embodiment in which side guides are arranged on the lower part, which extend from the surface in the direction of the contact surface and end at a distance in front of the contact surface, since this allows easy insertion of the ink pad.

In an embodiment in which a web is arranged between the side guides for supporting the stamp pad, it is advantageously achieved that the stamp pad can not fall into the interior of the bottom part.

An embodiment is advantageous in which at least on one side, in particular a side guide or the surface, a projection is arranged corresponding to a chamfer on a Stemeplkissen, as this insertion of another ink pad can be prevented in a simple way, so that corresponding locking mechanisms or detent Connections can not be engaged.

Likewise, a design is advantageous in which on the surface of the lower part of a cam for a corresponding recess on the ink pad is arranged, which protrudes into the receiving device, as this in turn can prevent the complete imports prevented,

Also, an embodiment is advantageous in which a ramp for a corresponding opening on the ink pad is arranged at one or both Scitenfuhrungen, as in a simple way a complete import false ink pads is prevented.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is also achieved by an ink pad in which at least one means (74) for use in a corresponding means (74) in a punch (1) is arranged on a longitudinal side surface (106), and on a further side further means (74) for positioning and holding is arranged. The advantage here is that this creates a simple and cost-effective production for the ink pad, while a backlash-free and secure hold is achieved in a stamp. The cost-effective production is advantageous for an ink pad insofar as it is designed as a wear part and thus often exchanged, 23/11/2011 16:47

But it is also an embodiment of advantage in which two projections are arranged as a means on the longitudinal side surface, which are designed for use in recesses on the surface of the lower part of the punch, and that in turn on the opposite side two further projections for use in the Recesses are arranged on the longitudinal web of the lower part of the punch, as by the use of protrusions an exact positioning can be created and the costs in the production in turn can be kept low.

An advantage is a design in which the projections of the longitudinal side surface are arranged on a central web or longitudinal side surface, since a secure hold is achieved when inserted in a stamp.

But it is also an embodiment of advantage in which a further longitudinal side surface is arranged parallel to the central web, wherein between the central web and the longitudinal side surface a space is formed, as characterized in the free space of the longitudinal web can be absorbed by the stamp. This significantly improves the visual appearance.

However, it is also an embodiment of advantage in which a handle element is formed or arranged on both narrow side surfaces, whereby a simple handling of the ink pad is made possible.

An advantage is an embodiment in which at least on one side a chamfer is arranged for a corresponding projection on the stamp, as a complete introduction into the receiving device is possible only if the chamfer and the projection match. Thus it can be prevented that mismatched pillows or ink pads can be plugged into the Aufiiahmevorrichtung and ev.

Snap connections come into engagement.

Also, an embodiment is advantageous in which a recess for a corresponding cam on the punch is arranged on the longitudinal side surface, as this again a complete imports in case of disagreement is prevented.

The illustrated punch 1 consists of several individual components, which are merely inserted into each other and is thus without connecting means, such as screws and nuts, the Auslangen found. As a result, a possible quick and easy assembly of the stamp 1 is achieved, since the items only need to be inserted into each other.

Furthermore, the stamp 1 is designed in such a way that only a small number of different parts is required, wherein to produce a stamp image, the stamp 1 is formed only from six different components, so that the most cost-effective production is achieved. In order to further reduce the cost of such a die 1, most components are preferably formed from plastic injection molded parts. In this case, the stamp 1 consists of an upper part 6, a lower part 7, a pressure plate carrier 8, a spring 9, the stamp plate 3 and the additional ink pad 4, which is usually arranged interchangeable and can be replaced as a spare part.

To improve the user-friendliness, it is possible for a plug-in and latchable viewing window 10 to be arranged on the upper part 6, so that a stamp print produced on a paper, film, etc. can be cut to size and subsequently inserted between the upper part 6 and the viewing window 10. Since the viewing window 10 is formed of a transparent plastic, the user can see through the viewing window 10 behind the inserted paper with the stamp imprint thereon. At the upper part 6 a recess 11 corresponding to the viewing window 10 is formed, the viewing window 10 having on one longitudinal side two latching elements 12, 13 located in the edge region and on the other, parallel longitudinal side in the center another latching element 14 with handle element 15 formed thereon. The locking elements 12 to 14 engage in locking recesses 16 of the upper part 6, so that when printing the viewing window 10 on the upper part 6 a locking connection is made and a secure hold of the viewing window 10 is generated on the upper part 6. Preferably, the recess 11 is formed for the viewing window 10 in the upper part 6 such that when inserting the viewing window 10, the outer surface of the viewing window 11 does not dominate the outer contour of the upper part 6, but ends with this form-fitting. The viewing window 11 is preferably arranged on an upper side 17 of the upper part 6 and may extend into a front and / or rear side 18, 19. Of course, it is possible that the viewing window 11 is disposed only in the front and / or back 18,19 of the upper part 6. It is also possible that the viewing window 10 is mounted on one side with a rotation axis on the upper part 6, so that the user at 23/11/2011 16:51

Opening the viewing window 10 via the handle element 15 can now turn it over the pivot axis. This is advantageous if the indentation 11 for the viewing window 10 is formed such that a free space (not shown) is provided between the viewing window 10 and the bottom of the indentation 11, in which objects can be stored for storage. For example, the indentation 11 can be formed a few millimeters, in particular 5 mm, deep, so that for example Bürokleinwarcn, especially paper clips, can be stored and thus the viewing window 10 for the removal of paper clips must be opened more often, resulting in an arrangement of a rotation axis for operator comfort worth. For this purpose, it would also be possible that in the recess 11 of the upper part 6, a permanent magnet is injected or glued, so that when inserting paper clips these are held in the recess 11. It is also possible, instead of a viewing window 11 to arrange an opaque closure lid.

In the illustrated embodiment, now a self-inking stamp 1 with a pivot angle 20, schematically drawn by an arrow in Fig. 1, between 80 ° and 135 °, in particular of about 90 °, formed for the printing plate support 8. That is, a stamp 1 is realized with an ink pad 4, wherein the pressure plate carrier 8 performs only a quarter circle movement, wherein the punch 1 essentially of a telescoping upper and lower parts 6, 7 and a pivotally mounted in the lower part 7 Pressure plate carrier 8 for receiving the stamp plate 3, wherein the printing plate support 8 is associated with a receiving device 21 for a stamp pad 4 and the printing plate support 8 in a rest position 2 in the range between 80 ° and 135 °, in particular from about 90 °, to a footprint 22nd the punch 1 is positioned and from this rest position 2 in an actuating position 23 actuating position for generating a stamp imprint on guide means is adjustable.

It is essential here that the turning mechanism for the pressure plate carrier 8 is formed in such a way that the printing plate carrier 8 is rotated within the narrowest space in the interior 24 of the lower part 7 and optimal space utilization for a stamp surface 25 is achieved in order to produce the largest possible stamp image , In this case, the stamp surface 25, which corresponds approximately to the size of the printing plate support 8, at least greater than 60%, preferably between 75% and 80% of the total bearing surface 26 of the stamp 1 on. This is achieved such that a rotation of the printing plate support 8 over two 23/11/2011 16:52

No .: R577 P.026 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16:52 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovationscenter 0027/059 guide pin 27 takes place, one guide pin 27 being arranged on a side face 28 of the pressure plate carrier 8, and this simultaneously engage in guide grooves 29, 30 in the lower part 7 and upper part 6.

The printing plates carrier 8 is designed such that it has the largest possible base body 31 for receiving the largest possible stamp plate 3, to the side of the side surfaces 28 are formed with a respective guide pin 27. Furthermore, the printing plate support 8 extending in the longitudinal direction on a central web 32 between the two side surfaces 28, which supports the two side surfaces 28 and at the same time ensures high stability. The mounting of the stamp plate 3 takes place on the opposite planar mounting surface 33 of the base body 31, which is assigned to the stamp pad 4 when the die 1 is mounted. The length and width of the printing plate support 8 is adapted to the interior 24 of the lower part 7, since this is completely positioned in the interior 24 and only the guide pins 27 protrude from the interior 24 of the lower part 7. In this case, the main body 31 is only a few percent, in particular 5%, smaller than the surface of the inner space 24 is large, so that a very high Stempel flächenausnützung of at least 60%, preferably between 75% to 80% of the footprint 26 of the stamp. 1 is reached. The size of the base 31 depends on the structure of the body 31, since it must be ensured that the pressure plate carrier 8 in the interior 24 of the lower part 7 can be rotated without contact. With regard to the mounting of the stamp plate 3 on the mounting surface 33, it is merely pointed out that any fastening method known from the prior art can be used, the stamp plate 3 preferably being glued to the mounting surface 33. It is also possible that on the base body 31, in particular on the mounting surface 33 Rasteinbuchtungen are arranged, wherein 3 corresponding locking pins are arranged on the stamp plate, so that the stamp plate 3 is simply pressed and the locking pins engage in the Rasteinbuchtungen. It is also possible that the locking pin can protrude through the body 31 through.

So that the pressure plate carrier 8 can be accommodated with the guide pin 27 in the lower part 7, the lower part 7 on each side surfaces 34 an arcuate guide groove 29 which extends vertically from the contact surface 22 and then ends in an arc. The arcuate guide groove 29 is formed in such a way that the guide pin 27 arranged on the side surfaces 28 of the pressure plate carrier 8 therein is possibly 23/11/2011 16:53

No .: R577 P, 027/059 23/11 2011 MI 15:53 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center EI028 / 059 guided without play and in the assembled state of the guide pin 27 from the interior of the lower part 7, so the interior 24 through the guide groove 29 leads to the outside. Since the guide groove 29 extends into the edge region of the side wall 34, the pressure plate carrier 8 simply needs to be inserted into the guide groove 29 for assembly. However, so that the guide pin 27 protrudes sufficiently from the guide groove 29, a guide portion 36 is recessed or recessed formed in the lower part 7 in the region of the arcuate guide groove 29 over the entire height 35 of the lower part 7. It is thus achieved that, with a low component thickness, the largest possible protrusion of the guide pin 27 out of the guide groove 29 is created for further engagement in the further guide groove 30 on the upper part 6, and thus the upper part 6 and the lower part 7 are held securely to one another via the two guide pins 27 be, ie, that the upper part 6 and the printing plate support 8 are connected to each other, wherein the upper part 6 is thereby slipped only over the guide pin 27 of the pressure plate carrier 8 and these engage in the guide groove 30 in the upper part. The lower part 7 is inserted only between the two parts, so that then the upper part 6 can be slipped over the lower part and the interior of the rigidly connected to the upper part 6 pressure plate carrier 8 can accommodate. The outer contour of the lower part 7 is correspondingly adapted to the interior 37 of the upper part 6, so that the lower part 7 can be pushed into the interior 37 of the upper part 6 at least partially, wherein the individual parts are preferably rectangular

The guide region 36 in the lower part 7 serves at the same time as a guide for the upper part 6, for which a vertical guide region 38 is formed on the side walls 39 corresponding to the guide region 36 in the upper part 6, so that the vertical guide region 38 along the edges 40 of the guide region 36 on the height 35th the lower part is positioned and / or guided. The vertical guide portion 38 may be formed as a full-surface projection / survey or it may be formed individual webs in the interior of the upper part 6, which are formed so that they protrude into the recess, ie in the guide portion 36, and thus in turn over the edges 40th are guided. At the same time, the guide groove 30 of the upper part 6 for the guide pin 27 of the printing plate support 8 in the vertical guide portion 38 is integrated, ie, that the vertical guide portion 38 for the telescoping of the upper part 6 and lower part 7 and at the same time when nesting for the rotational movement of the printing plate support 8 through the Führungsnuten 30 is responsible. The guide groove 30 in the upper part 6 is arranged such that it extends first horizontally and then in a light 23/11/2011 16:54

No .: R577 P.028 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 16:54 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0029/059

Arc in the direction of the lower part 7 ends, that is, that the guide groove 30 is aligned more horizontally and is also responsible for the horizontal displacement of the printing plate support 8. It can also be said that the guide groove 30 in the upper part 6 is rotated by 90 ° to the guide groove 29 in the lower part 7, that is, the guide groove 29 in the lower part 7 is mainly responsible for the vertical displacement, whereas the guide groove 30 in the upper part for horizontal displacement responsible is. It is essential here that the arcuate end of the guide groove 30 in the upper part 6 coincide with the arcuate end in the lower part 7, so that a corresponding turning mechanism described below can be produced.

So that a simpler installation of the items is possible, notches 42 are provided laterally parallel to the vertical guide portion 38 in the illustrated embodiment, whereas the side wall 39 and front 18 of the upper part 6 deposited on the opposite side, so the side wall 39 and front 18 are formed shortened, so that it is also achieved that accessibility to the receiving device 21 is given in the assembled state, since this is no longer or only partially covered, so that the insertion of the ink pad 4, however, is possible without problems. This results in that in the vertical guide portion 38 a kind of extension 43 is formed, which ensures that when assembling this area, so the extension 43 with the guide groove 30, easily deformed, in particular can be pressed to the outside, since less material will be deformed must, and thus the upper part 6 can be easily slipped over the guide pin 27 of the pressure plate carrier 8 for engagement in the guide groove 30.

Furthermore, the upper part 6 and lower part 7 each have a spring receiving device 44 into which the spring 9, in particular a spiral spring, is inserted and positioned. The spring 9 has the task to produce a corresponding pressure between the upper part 6 and lower part 7, so that the two parts are in the rest position 2, so when not pressing the punch 1, always in a defined position to each other and at the same time the stamp plate 3 against the Stamp pad 4 presses. In this case, the upper part 6 and the lower part 7 are pressed apart via the spring 9. In the upper part 6, a T-shaped webs 45 is formed for this purpose in the illustrated embodiment, in the center of a lower trained in its height circular web 46, on which the spring 9 is placed, is arranged, so that the spring 9 between the T-shaped Footbridges 45 and the back 19 23/11/2011 16:54

Correspondingly, in the lower part 7, a shoulder 47 is arranged, in which an X-shaped web 48 is formed, wherein the X-shaped web 48 corresponds to the diameter of the spring 9 so that it can be inserted over the web 48 and the spring 9 is again positioned and held. Of course, it is possible to use any type of fastening for the spring 9.

The formation of a shoulder 47 ensures that the distance and thus the spring travel between the upper part 6 and lower part 7 is extended, so that, for example, a longer spring 9 can be used with a higher pitch for a lower spring pressure and thus the stamp comfort is improved since the user does not have to apply that much pressure. It is also achieved that the two parts can be pressed closer to each other, since the spring 9 during pressing of the paragraph 47, ie the indentation, is taken, so that the upper part 6 can thus be pressed directly onto the lower part 7. On the other hand, the shoulder 47 causes a stop or abutment surface 50 for the backing plate carrier 8 to be created in the interior space 49 of the lower part 7, which was simultaneously used as an anvil for initiating the rotational movement of the printing plate carrier 8.

The turning process is now carried out such that upon actuation of the punch 1, the upper part 6 is pushed over the lower part 7 against the spring force of the spring 9, wherein at the same time the guide pin 27 in the guide grooves 29, 30 are moved accordingly, so that due to the interaction of the guide 29th , 30 a defined sequence for the movement of the printing plate support 8 is generated, in particular a lifting of the printing plate support 8 is performed by the ink pad 4 with subsequent rotational and vertical movement. Here, in the first phase, ie at the beginning, first by the horizontally oriented guide groove 30 in the upper part 6 of the guide pin 27 is displaced mainly in a horizontal plane, whereby the printing plate support 8 is lifted from the insert 51 of the stamp pad 4, that is, the shift in horizontal Level results due to the configurations of the two guide grooves 29,30, which is moved horizontally due to the guide groove 30 in the upper part 6 of the Dmckplattenträger 8 and is simultaneously lowered by the arcuate course of the guide groove 29 in the lower part 7 slightly towards footprint, the lowering in only slightly in the first phase. If the upper part is pressed further onto the lower part, that is to say into the so-called second phase, then the guide pin 27 comes into the arch of 23/11/2011 16:55

In this case, the central web 32 acts in the rotational movement, since it stops the movement of the printing plate support 8 in a certain position, that is, the Kissenhaltcrunterteil 31 and the central web 32 exactly enclose the shoulder 47, so that over-rotation is not possible. At the same time due to the arcuate course of the guide grooves 29 of the printing plate support 8 is lowered so far that this is now positioned below the paragraph 47 and push through complete nesting of the upper part 6 on the lower part 7, ie in the third phase, the pressure plate carrier 8 mainly a vertical movement performs and is thus printed against the footprint 22 of the stamp 1. In this case, a stamp imprint is thus generated in the interior of the support surface 26 when mounted stamp plate 3, so that the stamping process is completed. Subsequently, the upper part 6 can be easily let go of the user, so that it is now automatically lifted by the spring 9 from the lower part 7 and pushed back into the rest position 2. In this case, the printing plate support 8 is now rotated in the opposite direction, so that it is aligned parallel to the ink pad 4 and comes to rest in the rest position 2 on the ink pad 4.

The ink pad 4 has the task to provide the mounted on the printing plate support 8 stamp plate 3 with color for a stamping operation, that is, that the ink pad 4 a color impregnated insert 51, as indicated schematically in Fig. 4, at which the Stamp plate 3 is applied with light pressure, so that the stamp plate 3 can absorb color of the liner 51 in the rest position. However, since the platen support 8 is disposed at a certain angle to the footprint of the platen 1, it is necessary that the plunger pad 4 be correspondingly associated with the platen support 8, that is, the platen cushion 4 also be disposed at an angle between 80 " and 135 °, preferably at about 90 °, to the footprint 22 of the stamp 1 is arranged. Thus, in the rest position 2 of the pressure plate carrier 8 and the ink pad 4 are aligned parallel to each other, wherein the pressure plate carrier 8 mounted on the stamp plate 3 from 23/11/2011 16:56

Print plate support 8 is pressed with light pressure against the insert 51, so in Einfarberichtung abuts on the ink pad 4.

Since the Druckplattenträgcr 8 is arranged in the lower part 7, and the stamp plate 3 is housed therein. For this purpose, the receiving device 21 is arranged in the lower part 7, in which the ink pad 4 is inserted or withdrawn in depleted color of this, to reuse a new or freshly soaked with ink stamp pad 4. The receiving device 21 for the ink pad is arranged in the lower part 7, that in the rest position 2 of the stamp 1 is a free accessibility to the printing plate support 8 on the side surface of the lower part 7 is given, ie that when not used ink pad, as shown in Fig. 5, the user via or on the front side 34 a arranged receiving device 21 can get directly to the printing plates carrier 8, since this is aligned in the rest position 2 parallel to the receiving device 21. However, if the ink pad 4 is inserted into the receiving device 21, then the ink pad 21 closes the receiving device 21,

It can therefore be said that the receiving device 21 for the ink pad 4 is arranged on the front side 34a of the lower part 7, wherein the receiving device 21 is designed in the form of a window with means for receiving the ink pad 4 arranged therein, so that when the ink pad 4 is not used directly arranged on the inside of the lower part 7 and arranged parallel to the receiving device 21 aligned printing plate carrier 8 is accessible. Since in the rest position 2 from the printing plate support 8 always a slight pressure against the ink pad 4 is ausgeübl, it is necessary that this is well maintained in the receiving device 21, since this otherwise parallel to the printing plate support 8 of this from the receiving device 21 and thus from the Lower part 7 would be printed. To prevent this, the receiving device 21 has means for fastening and positioning and guiding. Correspondingly, such means for positioning, holding and releasably fixing the stamp pad 4 in the receiving device 21 are also arranged on the stamp pad 4.

It is essential in the design of the receiving device 21, on the one hand must be sure that the ink pad 4 can not fall into the interior 24 upon actuation of the punch 1, including this in the illustrated embodiment support surfaces 52 in the interior 24 of the lower part 7, in particular the front 34a, are arranged, 23/11/2011 16:57

Furthermore, on a longitudinal side 53 of the receiving device 21, in particular the side facing away from the footprint 22, recesses 54 and / or projections (not shown) are arranged. It is possible that preferably two recesses 54 and / or projections (not shown) are used, which are not arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal side 53, so that when inserting an ink pad 4 this can not be inserted laterally into the receiving device 21. On the opposite longitudinal side 53, a fastening element 55 is arranged in the middle. It can thus be said that the receiving device 21 is designed in the form of a window or an opening, on which support surfaces 52 for resting the stamp pad 4 are arranged and means, in particular at least one fastening element 55 and one or more recesses 54 and / or projections, for fixing and positioning of the ink pad 4 are arranged. Of course, any known from the prior art solution for fixing and positioning of an object can be used, including always the two parts, ie the receiving device 21 and the ink pad 4, are formed corresponding to each other.

The ink pad 4 is correspondingly composed of an ink pad carrier 56 and a liner 51 arranged therein for receiving ink, wherein means for insertion into and / or removal from the stamp 1, in particular from the receiving device 21, are arranged on the ink pad carrier 56. In the illustrated embodiment, a deformable means for fixing in a stamp 1 is arranged on at least one of the side surfaces, in particular a longitudinal side 57 of the Stempelkissenträgers 56 and at least one further side surface, in particular on the other longitudinal side 57, a Positionierdement, in particular in shape a recess and / or a projection 58, arranged. If the ink pad 4 is inserted into the receiving device 21, first the positioning element, in particular the projection 58, is inserted into the recess 54 and the ink pad 4 is pressed completely into the receiving device 21, whereby the deformable means snaps into the fastening element 55. This ensures that the ink pad 4 can no longer be removed or dropped from the receiving device 21 without actuation of the deformable means. In this case, the means on the ink pad 4, in particular the projection 58, for example, specially designed to build a holding pressure for the ink pad 4 in the receiving device 21. For this purpose, the means, in particular the projection 58, rejuvenated, 23/11/2011 16:57

This is now achieved that when inserting the means, so the projection 58, built up in the recess 54 depending on the insertion depth more and more pressure and thus the ink pad 4 is positioned with little movement in the receiving device 21.

The deformable means 74 is formed in the illustrated embodiment such that the means is formed in the form of a bracket 59 and the bracket 59, a projection or a recess is arranged, ie, that an ink pad is provided which consists of a ink pad carrier and a disposed therein Insert 51 for receiving ink, and disposed on the ink pad carrier means for insertion into and / or removal of a stamp 1 are arranged, wherein at least one of the side surfaces of the ink pad carrier 56, a deformable means for fixing in a stamp 1 is arranged the means in the form of a bracket 59 is formed and the bracket 59, a projection 60 or a recess is arranged, which is designed for snapping or fastening on the fastening element 55. It is possible that the bracket 59 is formed in the form of a handle. In the illustrated Ausfüihrungsbeispiel the bracket 59 extends over the entire side surface, in particular longitudinal side 57, wherein in the outer edge region of the bracket 59 is connected to the ink pad carrier 56. It is essential here that there is a free space 61 between the bracket 59 and the stamp pad carrier 56 so that it can be folded in the direction of the pad pad carrier 56 by pressing on the clip 59 so that the stamp pad 4 is released from the attachment element 55 or the receiving device 21 can. Preferably, further means for positioning and / or mounting in the form of protrusions 60 and / or recesses are arranged on the side opposite the bracket 59 side.

Due to the special design of the stamp pad 4 and the special arrangement in the front 34a of the lower part 7 of the sequence for a change from the known from the prior art procedure is changed. It can be said that a method for changing an ink pad 4 is performed in a stamp 1, in which a mounted on a bottom, in particular mounting surface 33, a printing plate support 8 printing or stamping plate 3 in rest position 2 on a in a receiving device 21st arranged ink pad 4 is applied, wherein when pressing the 23/11/2011 16:58

Stamp 1, the stamp plate 3 is lifted from the rest position 2 in an operating position 5 for generating a stamp impression of the insert 51 and pivoted, wherein in the rest position 2, the ink pad 4 is released from its position in the receiving device 21 and then in the opposite direction to the underside of the printing plate support 8 is removed from the receiving device 21, ie, that a free accessibility from the outside to the ink pad 4 in the lower part 7, in particular to the front 34a of the lower part 7, is given, and that the ink pad 4 first from the receiving device 21st is released and then removed from this from the outside parallel to the pressure plate carrier 8.

Such a simple removal method is possible because the ink pad 4 a majority of the side surface, in particular front side 34a, the lower part 7 is replaced or filled, as can be seen from the figures.

However, so that a stamp image can be generated, it is necessary that a stamp plate 3 is first mounted, since in the manufacture of the stamp 1 only from the parts, upper part 6, lower part 7, pressure plate carrier 8, spring 9 is formed. The ink pad 4 is designed from spare part and is generated independently of the stamp 1. Also, it is not necessary that the viewing window 10 must be present. Usually, the user selects a stamp 1 and then created preferably on a specially designed graphics software a stamp image. This stamp image is transmitted to a laser printer, for example, which generates the stamp plate 3 from a rolling process by appropriate processing. Subsequently, the stamp plate 3 must be mounted on the printing plate support 8. This was done in the prior art usually in the operating position 5 of a stamp. 1

According to the invention it is possible in the described stamp 1, that the mounting of the stamp plate 3 in the rest position 2 of the stamp 1 takes place, the stamp plate 3 is guided by the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21 in the interior 24 of the lower part 7 and then positioned on the mounting surface 33 and fixed becomes. It can therefore be said that a method for mounting a printing plate or stamp plate 3 in a stamp 1, wherein the stamp plate 3 is assigned in the rest position 2 of a receiving device 21, wherein upon actuation of the stamp 1, the stamp plate 3 from the rest position 2 in a Actuating position 5 is pivoted to create a stamp imprint, created 23/11/2011 16:59

is, wherein the mounting of the pressure plate 3 takes place in the rest position 2 on the receiving device 21 in the lower part 7 and the receiving device 21 is formed for receiving an ink pad 3,

Basically it can be said that in such a construction of the stamp 1, as described in FIGS. 1 to 20, the ink pad 4 is arranged on the front side 34a of the lower part 7, wherein the ink pad 4 is taken parallel to the front side 34a or . is inserted into the stamp 1. The advantage is that the user can easily get to the ink pad 4 and can see the majority of the ink pad 4, so that better handling when inserting or swapping the ink pad 4 is achieved. The dimensioning of the stamp 1 is preferably designed such that the receiving device 21 for the ink pad 4 occupies almost complete the front 34a, that is, the height 35 is approximately equal to the narrow side of the stamp pad 4. Thus, the size of such a stamp 1 is substantially reduced, but with the greatest possible space utilization for the stamp plate 3, which corresponds approximately to the size of the surface of the stamp pad 4, Corresponding thereto, the upper part 6 is formed in such a way that the interior 37 the lower part. 7 receives, in particular the interior 37 also has the height 35, so that the lower part 7 is completely positionable in the interior 37 of the upper part 6.

FIG. 25 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a self-inking stamp 1 of a different type. This self-inking stamp 1 is a 180 ° -terminator, i. that the turning mechanism is formed so that the printing plate support 8 once completely rotates around its axis. However, since the individual elements have the same name, the terms used in the figures described above are transferred to this embodiment.

The stamp 1 consists of a telescoping upper part 6 and lower part 7 and a pivotally mounted in the lower part 7 plate carrier 8 for receiving the stamp plate 3, the pressure plate carrier 8 is associated with a Aufhahmevorrichtung 21 and the printing plate support 8 in a rest position 2, as shown in the Position of 180 ° to a footprint 22 is positioned, which is adjustable from this rest position 2 in an operating position 23 (not shown) for generating a stamp imprint on guide means and the upper part 6 U-shaped as an operating bracket 65 23/11/2011 17 : 00

formed, wherein the upper part 6 is distanced from the lower part 7 on the two sides of the U-shaped actuating bracket 65 from each other, as is already known from the prior art. However, so that the novel ink pad changing system, as defined in the figures described above, is applicable, the lower part 7 has been redesigned.

Here, in turn, the receiving device 21 is arranged for the ink pad 4 in the lower part 7, wherein the receiving device 21 is formed such that in the rest position 2 of the punch 1 free accessibility to the printing plate support 8 is given over an upper surface 66 of the lower part 7, that now the receiving device 21 is arranged below the actuating bow 65 on the lower part 7 and the user can reach the receiving device 21 via the cavity 67 formed between the upper side 66 of the lower part 7 and the actuating bow 65. Directly below parallel to the receiving device 21 is also the pressure plate carrier 8 when the punch 1 is in the rest position 2. Thus, it is ensured that in the rest position 2 of the printing plate support 8, in particular the stamp plate mounted thereon 3, is applied to the insert 51 of the stamp pad 4 when the ink pad 4 is inserted. However, taking the ink pad 4 from the receiving device 21 so it is again possible that can be accessed via the receiving device 21 to the printing plate support 8. Thus, an assembly of the stamp plate 3 in the rest position 2 is possible, as has been described in the embodiment illustrated above.

It should be noted that in the illustrated embodiment, the operating bracket 65 does not necessarily have to be provided with a handle Clement, but can be easily formed by a U-shaped bracket. It must only be ensured that you can get between the operating bracket 65 and the lower part 7 to the receiving device 21, so a free accessibility to the receiving device 21 is given.

It can therefore be said that the difference between the two embodiments lies in the fact that the receiving device 21 for the ink pad 3, and with the ink pad 3 inserted itself, on the one hand on the front side 34a of the lower part 7 (90 ° punch) and on the other side on the top 66 of the lower part 7 (180 ° -Stempel) is arranged.

It is also possible that the ink pad 4 with a viewing window 10, as shown schematically in Fig. 26, as already described above, is equipped, 23/11/2011 17:01

No .: R577 P.037 / 059 23/11 2011 Wed 17:01 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0038/059 that is, the ink pad carrier 56 has a recess 11 on the opposite side to receive the insert 51. This can in turn be provided with detent recesses 16, so that the viewing window 10 can be pressed with molded thereon locking elements 12 to 14 on the ink pad 4, in particular on the back. Thus, in turn, a generated stamp imprint can be inserted, which is visible through the transparently formed viewing window 10. Of course, it is also possible that the arrangement of a viewing window 10 on the ink pad 4 is also possible in the embodiment described above and embodiments described below. Furthermore, it is also possible that the viewing window 10 is simply plugged onto the ink pad 3 or enclose this. It must be made only sickle-that the ink pad 4 can be inserted into the receiving device 21.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. Here, however, the representation of the stamp 1 is dispensed with, wherein only the pressure plate carrier 8 is shown. This printing plate support 8 corresponds substantially to the structure in the above-described Ausfiihrungsbeispiel so that it can be used in the previously described stamp 1.

It is essential here that now the stamp 1 is formed as Prc-Inkcd-Stcmpel 1, including the pad holder base 31 of the printing plate support 8 is formed for receiving a pre-inked stamp plate 68, ie, that the pad holder base 31 has a latching frame 69, in the pre-inked stamp plate 68 is inserted. This ensures that now no more ink pad 4 is needed, but the stamp image directly from the Druckplattenträgcr 8, in particular the pre-inked stamp plate 68 therein. As is known from the prior art in pre-inked stamps, the ink is stored in a storage medium 70 in the printing plate support 8 and can seep out from there through the pre-inked stamp plate 68, as indicated schematically by an arrow 71. Of course, it is possible that the pre-inked stamp plate itself may be formed as a storage medium.

Since thus no ink pad 4 is required, can now in the Aufnahmevorrichfung 21 a cover plate (not shown) are inserted, whereby the opening and the access to the printing plate support is closed. So you can say that the Aufnahmevorrichfung 21 for receiving an ink pad 3 and / or 23/11/2011 17:01

No .: R577 P.038 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 17:01 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0039/059 35

Cover plate, which remains in the receiving device 21 upon actuation of the punch 1, is formed. It is also possible that such a cover plate is always used in the delivery of the stamp 1, and the user then replaced by a stamp pad 4, in an embodiment of a self-inking stamp 1. In principle, it would also be possible for the user himself to decide whether he would like to use a self-inking stamp 1 or a pre-inked stamp 1, since he only has to exchange the printing plate carrier 8.

Different exemplary embodiments of stamp pads 4 for use in the stamps 1 described above are shown in the further FIGS. 28 to 41. It should be mentioned that the integrated in the stamps 1 receiving device 21 is formed corresponding to the illustrated ink pad 4, so that it can be inserted into the receiving device 21.

FIG. 28 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the bracket 59 is arranged on a longitudinal side 57 as means 74, whereas on the opposite side further means 74, in particular two pins 75 and a pin receptacle 76 shown by dashed lines, are provided for corresponding pins 75 (not shown). on the receiving device 21 of the stamp 1, are arranged. The pin 75 know while a special design and can be formed, for example, tapered. The pins 75 can be attached to the pad holder lower part 31, for example via a latching connection, ie, for example, a guide with or without notch is arranged above the basic body thickness, so that the pad 51 is exposed from one side, in particular from that side , postponed. Thus, an ink pad 4, in particular a Grundausfuhrungsform be generated for different stamp 1 with different receiving devices 21, where only the corresponding required means 74 are infected, i. that, for example, different lengths and / or thick extensions 75 can be plugged.

In addition, in the embodiment now another means 74 for holding in the form of handle members 77 is arranged. These are arranged on the shorter side surfaces 78 and protrude laterally from the pad holder lower part 31. Thus, the user can now hold the ink pad 4 with two fingers on these handle elements 77 and insert it into the receiving device 21. These are in the page areas of 23/11/2011 17:02

No .: R577 P. 039/059 23/11 2011 μι 17:02 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0040/059

Lower part 7 corresponding recesses, as shown later in another embodiment, arranged so that the grip elements 77 can complete with the outer contour of the lower part 7 and slightly beyond can protrude, if characterized the movement of the punch 1 is not hindered.

It has proven to be advantageous if the gripping elements 77 are eccentrically arranged in the region of the stirrup 59, since thereby the user first simply introduces the stamper pad 4 with the stub 75 obliquely into the receiving device 21 and then completely presses the stamper pad 4. In order for the user to have a better grip, it is possible for the grip elements 77 to be provided with nubs or grooves. It is also possible for these to be detachable. For this purpose, it is generally mentioned that all means 74 shown in the exemplary embodiments can be made removable.

In a further embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, the ink pad 4 is formed such that now a special design of a locking mechanism 79 is used for fixing the ink pad 4 in the receiving device 21. In this case, the movable means 74 is arranged on the receiving device 21, that is, the stamp pad 4 is equipped only with hardly deformable means 74 and for fixing in the receiving device 21, the so-called deformable strap 59 is provided with a movable fixing lip 80. The fixing lip 80 can be pressed down by the user in the direction of footprint 22, whereby the fixation of the ink pad 4 is released and thus the ink pad 4 can be removed, that is released by pressing down the fixing lip 80 arranged on an ink pad 4 locking lug 81 is so that the user can hold the ink pad 4 to the handle members 77 and can pull out of the receiving device 21. When inserting the ink pad 4, the mechanism may be designed such that an extension of the fixing lip 80 is actuated by the ink pad 4, so that the fixing lip 80 folds up and the ink pad 4 and the locking lug 80 locked because the Fixierlippe 80 in a snap Connection engages.

Furthermore, it can be seen from the illustration that a lower edge 82 of the front side 18 of the upper part 6 in the rest position 2 with the upper edge or an upper edge 83 of the 23/11/2011 17:03

Recording device 21 terminates or projects only slightly beyond. This is achieved in that the upper part 6 is designed accordingly and the front side 18 is shortened, so that now the ink pad 4 in the front side 34a is exposed and thus can be easily removed. In principle, it is possible for the lower edge 82 of the front side 18 to protrude a little above the receiving device 21 or the stamp pad 18, although it must be ensured that the stamp pad 4 can still simply be unscrewed.

It can also be clearly seen in FIG. 30 that the gripping elements 30 can protrude beyond the side edges of the lower part 7 if they are arranged accordingly, ie if the gripping elements 77 are arranged in the region of the contact surface 22, ie in the lower region, then a total width can be achieved 85 of the handle members 77 may be longer than a width 86 of the lower part 7, since upon actuation of the punch 1 by the shortened design of the front side 18 this in turn ends in the operating position 5 above the handle members 77. However, if the grip elements 77 are laid more in the middle region of the stamp pad 4, then the overall width 84 must be equal to the width 85 of the lower part 7, so that the upper part 6 can be pushed over the grip elements 77.

Furthermore, it is pointed out that in the illustrated embodiment of FIGS. 29 to 30 of the stamp 1 is shown in the rest position 2 and the printing plate support 8 is not yet coupled to the upper part 6, but only in the lower part 7 is inserted.

FIGS. 32 and 33 show a variant in which the release of the stamp pad 4 is carried out by applying pressure and a simultaneous sliding movement, with only the lower part 7 and the stamp pad 4 being shown for this purpose.

It is also possible that an unlocking can be carried out without pressurization.

For this purpose, in the receiving device 21, in particular in the region of the upper edge 83,

Means 74 for distancing and springs, so-called spring elements 86, arranged to press this in the direction of support surface 22 with the ink pad 4 inserted. The spring elements 86 can be formed for example by simple deformable tabs, straps or the like, but always return to a deformation in the original form. It is possible that only one or more spring elements 86 arranged 23/11/2011 17:04

On the opposite side are preferred on the ink pad 4 more center] 74, insbesondre latching projections 87, integrally formed, which are now aligned 90 ° to the pad holder base 31, ie in the direction of the lower part 7 protrude. These means 74 engage in corresponding openings 88 on the lower part 7 and the receiving device 21, wherein the openings 88 are formed substantially larger than the latching projections 87, so that the latching projections 87 are slidable in the openings 88. It is also possible that instead of openings 88 only corresponding snap-behind cutting edges are arranged, into which the latching projections 87 can engage.

To release the ink pad 4, the user presses first against the ink pad 4 in the direction of the lower part 7, and simultaneously pushes the ink pad 4 up against the spring elements 86, so that the locking projections 87 are released in the opening 88 from its locking connection and the ink pad 4 are removed can. Preferably, a symbolic arrow 89 is shown to represent the direction of displacement on the pad holder lower part 31.

FIG. 34 shows an enlarged illustration of an exemplary embodiment in which means 74 for latching on the lower part 7 are arranged on the grip elements 77. The means 74 is formed for example as a latching extension 87.

In principle, it should be noted that in the formation of the ink pad 4 and the receiving device 21, these can also be carried out inversely as in the embodiments described above, ie, that the means 74 from the ink pad 4 in the receiving device 21 and the means 74 of the receiving device 21st be arranged on the ink pad 4. When placing the stamp pad 4, the latching projections 87 engage in openings 88 on the lower part 7 and thus fix the stamp pad. For loosening now the two gripping elements 77 have to be pressed together a little, whereby the locking connection is released and the ink pad can be removed, ie that now press together by the pressing together of the grip elements 77 and thus pressed the latching projections 87 out of the opening 88 become. 23/11/2011 17:04

FIGS. 35 to 37 show a sliding mechanism for fastening the stamp pad 4 to the lower part 7, in particular in the receiving device 21. In this case, the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21 is provided with a means 74 which is elastically deformable. This is formed by special formations of the edge region and corresponds to a resilient projection 90 which presses in the used ink pad 4 this in a particular direction, in particular in the direction of the footprint 22.

For fixing the stamp pad 4, this now has several, in particular four, projections 58, wherein these are divided on the longitudinal side 57, that is, on each longitudinal side 57, two projections 58 are arranged. Corresponding thereto, corresponding recesses 54 are arranged in the receiving device 21. When inserting and removing the ink pad 4, the ink pad 4 corresponding to the graphic symbol is pressed against the resilient projection 90 and then swung out or pressed. With such a structure, in turn, the movable element or means 74 is arranged on the lower part 7, in particular in the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21, whereas the ink pad 4 has no such deformable elements. FIGS. 38 to 40 show a further variant of a connection system for the stamp pad 4 and the receiving device 21. In this case, now the ink pad 4 is pushed in the direction of footprint 22 to solve this. For this purpose, a corresponding graphic symbol is arranged. To fix the ink pad 4 is pushed against this movement.

The fixing takes place in turn via correspondingly arranged means 74 on the stamp pad 4 and on the receiving device 21. For this purpose, a latching hook 91 is arranged on the lower part 7, in particular in the edge region relative to the grip elements 77 on the receiving device 21. Furthermore, a stop element 92 is arranged, against which the stamp plate 4 can be pressed. Between latching hooks 91 and stop element 92 is a free space through which a latching hook 91 corresponding locking element 93 is arranged.

If the ink pad 4 is inserted into the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21, so first put the protrusions 58 in the recess 54 and then the locking element 93 inserted into the space between latching hooks 91 and stop element 92, and then upwards, ie against the footprint 22, pushed so the latching hook 91 is deformed and then locks in the locking element 93.

For better positioning, it is possible for protrusions 58 to be arranged in the area of the grip elements 77, so that a four-point positioning is created, with all protrusions 58 now projecting in the same direction.

Due to the design of the stamp 1 and / or the individual parts or the stamp pad 4 according to the previously described embodiments or defined features is achieved in an advantageous manner that the size compared to known from the prior art stamp with comparable stamp impression size by about 40% is reduced. This is also achieved in an advantageous manner that the actuation path for the user is reduced, but the stamp image quality is obtained. Reducing the size of the stamp also reduces the amount of material used and thus reduces the cost of manufacturing. Of course, it is also possible that the stamp can be equipped with a fixing device, so that the stamp can be fixed in the rest position 2 and thus the ink pad can be inserted or removed. Also, thus, the stamp plate 4 can be used in a fixed position. It can therefore be said that this type of stamp 1 can be used unlocked and / or locked.

A detailed representation of the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 35 to 37 is shown in FIGS. 42 to 48, wherein the same reference numerals are used for the same parts or function of the previously described embodiments. For this purpose, the means 74, in particular the resilient projection 90, shown enlarged in order to better recognize the operation of the means 74, in particular of the projection 90 can. The projection 90 is preferably formed integrally from the lower part 7 and preferably has a material taper 95a on a surface 95 of the lower part 7, ie, that the projection 90 is arranged on the surface 95 of the lower part 7, which faces the contact surface 22 is formed and the projection 90 deformed back to its original position after deformation. The lower part 7 is thus made with the resilient projection 90 from a single injection molding tool. 23/11/2011 17:06

The Aufhahmevorrichtung 21 forms a frame-shaped opening for inserting the ink pad 4, which can be accessed via a window 96 in the interior 24 of the lower part 7, in particular to the pressure plate carrier 8. Preferably, the projection 90 is positioned so that it protrudes into the interior of the receiving device 21 or abschlicßt with it, so that when inserted pad 4 of the resilient projection 90 builds a pressure on the ink pad 4 or exerts, as this vcrfonnt from the ink pad 4 at the onset was, ie, that the resilient projection 90 protrudes into the frame-shaped opening and the insertion of the ink pad 4 through the ink pad 4 to the rear, ie in the opposite direction to the footprint 22, is pressed, whereby due to the spring force of the means 74, in particular of the projection 90, a force is exerted on the ink pad 4 and thus the ink pad 4 is pressed by the projection 90 in the direction of the footprint 22. If the ink pad 4 removed from the receiving device 21, the projection 90 is formed back into its original position and thus in turn slightly protrudes into the frame-shaped receiving device 21 and closes with this.

Basically, it is pointed out that the resilient means 74, in particular the projection 90, can also be formed as an extra part or component and is fastened or positioned on the lower part 7, this then again being used in such a way that when inserting the ink pad 4 in FIG the receiving device 21 from the means 74, a pressure in the direction of footprint 22 is constructed.

Furthermore, two recesses 54 are arranged on the surface 95, so that corresponding projections 58 on the ink pad 4 can be inserted into it. The projections 58 have the task to position the ink pad 4 and to avoid tipping, since the Druckpiattcnträger 8 presses against the ink pad 4. The two recesses 54 are arranged, for example, between the two projections 90, wherein in the illustrated embodiment, the two projections 90 are arranged in the areas of the side surfaces 34 on the surface. Of course, it is possible that instead of two projections 90 and / or recesses 54 only a single projection 90 and / or recess 54, which are preferably arranged in the central region of the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21, is used, or that more than two projections 90 and / or Recesses 54 are arranged. It is essential that the projection 90 is formed such that it is designed to build up a pressure in the direction of the footprint 22 when the ink pad 4 is inserted or that at 23/11/2011 17:07

42 inserted stamp pad 4 this is pressed by the projection 90 in the direction of footprint 22 and that the recess 54 for receiving means, in particular of projections 58 of the stamp pad 4, is formed.

In principle, however, it is possible that the resilient projections 90 can be arranged on the opposite side in the region of the contact surfaces 22, wherein these in turn protrude into the inner region of the receiving device 21 or approximately complete with this. In such an embodiment, the projections 90 now have the task of pressing the ink pad 4 in the direction of the surface 95 2u, that is to say opposite to the previously described direction. However, since there is little room in the area of the footprint 22, the previously described embodiment in which the protrusions 90 are positioned on the surface 95 is preferred. It would also be possible to combine the different positions

In order to avoid falling out of the ink pad 4 from the receiving device 21, it is in such an embodiment eifereitlich that more means for fixing the ink pad 4 to the receiving device 21 and / or the ink pad 4 are arranged. For this purpose, a longitudinal web 98 is arranged in the area of the contact surface on a bearing surface formed for the ink pad 4, in which in turn two recesses 54 are arranged. In this case, the longitudinal web 98 is preferably arranged close to the opening or, the window 96 of the receiving device 21, so that a corresponding distance 99 is formed or provided to the support surface 22, ie, that the receiving device 21, in particular the window 96 of the receiving device 21, does not protrude to the footprint 22, but is formed smaller by the distance 99 or, is set back. This is necessary insofar as in the area of the contact surface 22 when inserting the stamp pad 4 it must be ensured that the projections 58 arranged on this area on the stamp pad 4 do not protrude beyond the contact surface 22 on insertion into the recesses 54 on the longitudinal web 98.

The lower part 7 with the receiving device 21 is thus designed such that this is formed korrespondicrend with the special ink pad 4 and thus can accommodate this. It is important to ensure that all parts or components are arranged and integrated so that they can be included in a stamp process in the interior of the upper part 6. This forms at the illustrated 23/11/2011 17:07

Embodiment, the surface 95 of the lower part 7 of the maximum outer contour over which no parts may protrude. Thus, the support surface 97 is offset in the region of the contact surface 22 by a thickness 100 of the ink pad 4 back and thus can absorb the ink pad 4, that is, the ink pad 4 can rest on the support surface 97. On this support surface 97, the longitudinal web 98 is arranged over at least a portion of the length, which protrudes in the opposite direction of the interior 24. In this case, the longitudinal web 98 is preferably formed smaller than the thickness 100 of the ink pad 4, so that when inserting the ink pad 4 of the longitudinal web 98 is received in the ink pad 4, ie, that in the ink pad 4 a recess or space 109 is formed in the when the ink pad 4 inserted protrudes the longitudinal web 98 or the ink pad 4 is formed such that the ink pad 4 can be arranged between the surface 95 and the longitudinal web 98, whereby the longitudinal web 98 forms the closing element or only partially the ink pad 4 projects beyond the longitudinal web 98, ie in that the ink pad 4 is arranged only between the surface 95 and the longitudinal web 98 or that the ink pad 4 projects beyond the longitudinal web 98 only over a partial region of the length of the longitudinal web 98 or of the lower part.

As previously mentioned, the two recesses 54 for the corresponding projections 58 of the stamp pad 4 are arranged on the longitudinal web 98. In this region of the recesses 54, a surface 102 tapering in the direction of the opening of the receiving device 21 is preferably formed on the longitudinal web, so that the projection 58 is more easily guided over the surface 102 in the direction of the recess 54 when inserting the ink pad, so that the insertion of the stamp pad 4 is greatly facilitated, since the projections 58 simply slip over the inclined surface 102 in the recess 54 or, can be pressed.

In order to achieve a guide for the ink pad 4 to be used, a side guide 103 is arranged in the lower part 7. The side guide 103 extends from the surface 95 in the direction of footprint 22 and terminates at a defined distance 104 to the footprint 22, wherein the distance 104 is dimensioned such that it can receive a handle member 77 from the ink pad 4, that is, the ink pad 4 such is formed that in this area on both sides grip elements 77 are arranged, which extend from the inside of the side guide to the outside and terminate with the outside. It is advantageous if, with inserted ink pad 4 between the handle elements 77 and 23/11/2011 17:08

Nr: R577 p · 047/059 23/11 2011 MI 17:08 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovationcenter @ 048/059 44

Side guides 103 a defined gap 114 remains, so that upon removal by pressure on the ink pad 4 in the direction of the surface 95 of the lower part 7, the ink pad 4 can be pushed in the direction of the surface 95, which also moves the projections 58 from the recesses 54 in the longitudinal web and thus the ink pad 4 can preferably be removed by a slight rotational movement.

Furthermore, a web 105 is arranged between the side guides 103 for supporting the stamp pad 4, whereby the stamp pad 4 can not fall into the interior of the lower part 7. In this case, the web 105 and the bearing surface 97 form a plane, so that it can be said that the bearing surface 97 extends along the web 105. The support surface 97 or the web 105 in the region of the lateral guide 10 forms only a very narrow web 105 in order to create the largest possible opening or window 96 for the receiving device 21. However, the web 105 should be formed so wide that it is ensured that when inserting the ink pad 4 this is guided on this web 105 and at the same time prevents the ink pad 4 may fall into the interior of the base.

It can therefore be said that in the illustrated embodiment, a special design of the lower part 7 with associated specially formed ink pad 4 was created, now in the receiving device 21, the resilient means 74 is arranged and the pad 4 fixed or rigid means are used. Thus, a self-inking stamp 1 is formed, which comprises a telescoping upper and lower parts 6,7 and a lower part 7 pivotally mounted printing plates carrier 8 for receiving the stamp plate 3, wherein the printing plate support 8 is associated with a receiving device 21 for a stamp pad 4 and the printing plate support 8 is positioned in a rest position 2 in the range between 80 ° and 135 °, in particular of approximately 90 °, to a footprint 22 and is adjustable from this rest position 2 in an actuating position 23 for generating a stamp imprint on guide means, wherein the lower part 7 a resilient means 74 is arranged, which projects into a receiving device 21 for the ink pad 4 or approximately closes with this, and at a further side on the lower part 7 at least one further means 74 for positioning and holding the ink pad 4 are arranged. The arrangement of the resilient means 74 ensures that the ink pad 4 in a particular position 23/11/2011 17:09

No.: R577 P.048 / 059 23/11 2011 ΚΙ 17ί09 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovationcentre 0049/059 • For a secure hold and precise positioning. Furthermore, it is achieved that when overcoming the force built up by the resilient means 74, the ink pad 4 in the receiving device 4 can be slightly moved or moved, whereby a disengagement or disengagement of the inter-energizing means 74 is possible, ie, that the means 74 on the stamp pad 4 and the means 74 on the stamp 1 are matched to one another such that they can be slightly displaced in one direction, in particular counter to the contact surface 22. For this purpose, a resilient means 74 is disposed in the lower part 7, which projects into an interior of the receiving device 21 for the ink pad 4 or approximately closes with this, and are on another side on the lower part 7 two further means, in particular two recesses 54 for positioning and Holding the ink pad 4 arranged so that the ink pad 4 can be moved against the resilient means 74.

The corresponding stamp pad 4 is in this case designed such that it comprises a stamp pad carrier 56 and an insert 51 arranged therein for receiving ink, and arranged on the stamp pad support 56 means 74 for insertion into and / or removal from a stamp 1 are arranged, wherein at one Longitudinal side surface 106 at least one means 74 is arranged for use in a corresponding means 74 in a stamp 1, and that on another side, a further means 74 for positioning and holding is arranged. In this case, the stamp pad carrier 56 has a defined thickness 100 to receive the insert 51 and thus to provide a corresponding color supply for a variety of stamping operations. In principle, it should be mentioned that the insert 51 is freely accessible on one side of the ink pad carrier 56 and is covered on the other side by the ink pad carrier 56. Thus, it is possible that the Druckplattenträgcr 8 of a stamp 1 in the rest position with inserted ink pad 4 directly on the liner 51 for concern and thus can absorb color, ie, that the ink pad 4 is inserted into the stamp 1 such that the insert 51 protrudes in the direction of the window 96 of the receiving device 21, so that the Dmckplattenträger 8 comes through the window 96 or opening on the liner 51 in the rest position to the plant and thus exerts pressure on the liner 52 and thus on the ink pad 4.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, two protrusions 58 are arranged on a longitudinal side surface 106 of the stamp pad 4, which are designed for use in recesses 54 on the surface of the lower part 7 of the stamp 1, wherein at 23/11/2011 17:10

46 opposite side again two further projections 58 are arranged for use in the recesses on the longitudinal web 98 of the lower part 7 of the punch 1. The two projections 58 are arranged on a central web 107 or longitudinal side surfaces, which limits the area for the insert 51. Parallel to the central web 107, the further longitudinal side surface 108 is arranged, between the central web 107 and the longitudinal side surface 108, a free space 109 is formed, which is at least designed such that the longitudinal web 98 can be arranged on the lower part 7 therein, that is, when inserted ink pad 4 between the central web 107 and the longitudinal side surface 108 of the longitudinal web 98 is inserted into the free space 109, whereby a locking of the projections 58 on the central web 107 into the recesses 54 on the longitudinal web is possible. Furthermore, handle elements 77 are formed or arranged on the two narrow side surfaces 110, which project beyond the narrow side surfaces 110 and terminate when the ink pad 4 is inserted with the outer surface of the side guides 103. Thus, it is possible that the narrow side surfaces 110 extend within the side guides 103 and complete the grip elements 77 of the stamp pad 4 with the outer surface of the side guide 103. In addition, it is possible that a kind of facet 111 is arranged in the side regions of the narrow side surface 110. In addition, it is also possible that in the areas of the projections 58 on the central web on the ink pad carrier 56 openings 112 are arranged, as shown.

To insert the ink pad 4, it is now necessary that the ink pad 4 is slightly angularly inserted into the side guides we. After the ink pad 4 comes to rest on the projection 90 or the surface 95 of the base 7, the user must now exert a slight pressure in the direction of the surface 95, so that the resilient means 74, in particular the resilient projection 90, is pushed back. At the same time, the stamp pad 4 moves in the direction of the surface 95, so that the projections 58 are pushed over them in the area of the longitudinal web 98 and the stamp pad 4 comes to rest on the bearing surface 97. If the pressure on the ink pad 4 is now stopped, it is pressed by the resilient means 74 in the direction of the contact surface 22, whereby the projections 58 in the region of the longitudinal web 98 are pressed into the recesses 54 arranged in the longitudinal web 98. For a secure hold and accurate positioning of the ink pad 4 is achieved in the stamp 1, wherein the pressure is still exerted by the resilient means 74 on the ink pad 4. 23/11/2011 17:10

However, if you want to remove the ink pad 4 from the stamp 1 or exchange, so e $ is required that a corresponding pressure on the ink pad 4 is exerted in the direction of the surface 95 of the lower part 7, whereby the spring force of the resilient means 74 canceled and overcome is, so that the ink pad 4 is moved in the direction of surface 95 of the lower part 7. As a result, the means 74 are now brought out of engagement on the ink pad 4 in the region of the longitudinal web 98 and the protrusions 58 pressed out of the recesses 54 on the longitudinal web 98, so then subsequently by a slight rotational movement, in particular against the lower part 7, on at least one side of the receiving device 21 is moved out, so that the pressurization can be stopped and the ink pad 4 can be easily pulled out because the individual means 74 of the stamp pad 4 and the stamp 1 are no longer engaged.

It can therefore be said that a method is provided in which the insertion and replacement of the stamp pad takes place in such a way that first a pressure against the contact surface 22 of the stamp 1 and against the spring force of the resilient means 74 on the lower part 7 is executed and then by a slight rotational movement the ink pad 4 is positioned or removed.

In order to achieve an optimal hold of the stamp pad 4 in the Aufhahmevorrichtung 21 of the lower part 7, this four means 74, in particular four projections 58, are arranged on the ink pad 4. In this case, these are preferably arranged in pairs on the long sides. These means 74, in particular these projections 58, but have a further object, namely that these projections 58 are formed such that they act against the contact pressure of the pressure plate carrier 8 or that the ink pad 4 against these projections 58 against the Anpresskrafl of the For example, only certain ink pads 4 can be used in a particular stamp 1, it is possible that the means 74, in particular the projections 58 are arranged asymmetrically on the ink pad 4, for which purpose the corresponding recesses 54 are formed correspondingly that is, for example, that the protrusions 58 are located at different distances from the edge of the stamp pad 4. Thus it is possible that a kind of coding system can be created.

In addition, it is also possible that an ink pad 4 is used, which already ends with the central web 107, that is, that only the area of the insert 51 with the 23/11/2011 17:11

No .: R577 P.051 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 17; 11 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0052/059 arranged on both sides so that when inserting the ink pad 4 in the stamp 1 this between the surface 95 is used with the recesses 54 and the resilient projection 90 and the longitudinal web 98 with the recesses 54, so that the longitudinal web 98 is not surmounted by the ink pad 4, so a shortened ink pad 4 is used. The longitudinal web 98 thus forms the conclusion for the ink pad 4. Of course, it is possible that a portion of the longitudinal web 98 is surmounted by the ink pad 4, so that this fact can be more easily removed from the stamp 1. Namely, if the ink pad within the longitudinal web 98 ends so it is hardly possible to easily replace this, since the longitudinal web 98 and the side lateral guides 103 complicate access to the inserted ink pad 4 or prevent.

It should be mentioned that for one-way punch corresponding locking elements 113, as described below, can be set, which allow only a one-time insertion of the ink pad 4, ie ,, after inserting the ink pad 4 this removed only with increased effort again can be, with a locking element 113 is usually deformed.

Such an embodiment is shown in FIGS. 49 to 51. It can be seen that when the ink pad 4, as shown in FIG. 50, between the narrow side surfaces 110 of the stamp pad 4 and the side guide 103, a latching connection 113 is formed, which is difficult to separate. Furthermore, in such a configuration, the gap 114 between the narrow side surface 110 and the GrifFelementen 77 and the side guide 103, so that after a latching of the ink pad 4 in the lower part 7 this can no longer be moved. Of course, it is also possible that between the central web 107 and the longitudinal web 98 this or an additional locking connection 113 is arranged. In such a disposable stamp, it is also not necessary that on the surface 95, the resilient means 74 are arranged, since the goal is to use the ink pad 4 only once and then to remove this no longer. Thus, the ink pad 4 can be formed and used without play. For this purpose, for example, an additional means 74 in the form of a recess 54 is arranged on the longitudinal web 98, whereby an even better hold of the ink pad 4 in the lower part 7 is achieved. Furthermore, the ink pad 4 is slightly changed and now no longer has the grooves for the grip elements 77 for a secure grip, but it is 23/11/2011 17:12

No .: R577 P.052 / 059 23/11 2011 WED 17:12 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovationscenter 0053/059 49 ..... only the bulges in the form of the grip elements 77 are available, in order to achieve a flat finish achieve or preserve the visual appearance of the stamp 1 ..

But it is also possible that the recesses 54 can be omitted on the surface 95, when the positioning on the resilient projection 90 takes place, that is, for example, on the ink pad 4, a notch is present, into which the projection 90 can be used for positioning and At the same time, however, the protrusion 90 is deformed to build up a pressure from the ink pad 4. It is advantageous if the projection 90 is formed such that tilting out of the ink pad 4 from the lower part 7 is avoided. Thus, the projection 90 should push the pad 4 towards the footprint and at the same time press over the projection 90 in the direction of the lower part 7. This can be achieved, for example, by a dreidimenisonale training of the pin on the projection 90, which engages in a correspondingly angular notch on the ink pad 4.

Furthermore, an exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 52 to 59, in which now the means 74 on the stamp pad 4 are specially designed to achieve, for example, correct insertion and / or additional precise positioning and / or complete insertion of a wrong one , especially mismatched, to avoid stamp pad 4. However, in the illustration and the description of both components, ie the stamp 1 and the ink pad 4, are described with each other, but for each part of an independent protection is claimed, since the two parts, ie the stamp 1 and the ink pad. 4 , also sold or distributed independently. It can therefore be said that a kind of code system is formed, in which only appropriately trained stamp pad 4 can be used, In this code system, the replica of ink pad 4 is thus to be made more difficult and is to ensure that only really matching ink pad 4 can be used.

Such systems are becoming increasingly important for stamp 1, since due to the different structures often very similar stamp pad 4 are required, which are not suitable for each stamp 1. This is to ensure that only those ink pads 4 fit in a stamp 1 provided by the manufacturer or 23/11/2011 17:13

No .: R577 P.053 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 17:13 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0054/059

are released. In particular, the case often occurs in replica stamp pads that fit more than bad in the stamp 1 of the manufacturer, with these then usually a bad stamp imprint or a complicated replacement of the replica stamp pad is achieved. This can degrade the reputation of a manufacturer. A bad stamp imprint may, for example, come about when in the rest position the ink pad 4 in the stamp 1 is not completely applied to the pressure plate of the printing plate support 8 and thus can not be sufficiently absorbed color.

Moreover, it is nowadays also necessary that with the same design of a stamp 1 only certain stamp pads 1 can be inserted into the corresponding stamp since, for example, the printing plate for the stamp impression, the insert 51 and the ink contained therein are matched to one another, ie that only a certain color and / or insert 51 may be used for a particular printing plate. This in turn must be ensured that is prevented by appropriate design of the ink pad 4 that similar ink pad 4 can be used in certain stamp 1.

For this purpose, in the embodiments described below, different embodiments of ink pad 4 with associated detail training of the receiving area in the stamp I described and shown. So you can say that the training corresponds to a coding system.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 52 and 53, an ink pad 4 is shown in which on one side an angular chamfer 115 / chamfer or bulge is arranged. The chamfer 115 extends from the narrow side surface 110 on the longitudinal side surface 106. Correspondingly, in the stamp 1 also on one side, in particular a side guide 103 or the surface 95, an angled projection 116 corresponding to the chamfer 115 is arranged. The projection 116 and the chamfer 115 have the same angle, so that when inserting the ink pad 4 in the stamp 1, these two surfaces come to rest or between the two surfaces only a very small distance is present.

Because of this training, it is now prevented that commercially available rectangular stamp pad 4, such a receiving device 21 can be inserted, since this 23/11/2011 17:13

No .: R577 P.054 / 059 23/11 2011 MI 17:13 FAX +43 7242 239 945 Trodat Innovation Center 0055/059 * · # ... · «* ·« «♦ 51 '*" at the angled projection 116 would come to the concern and thus can not be fully inserted. At the same time, the other positioning means, such as the projections 58, would not come into engagement with the recesses 54, so that a rectangularly shaped ink pad 4 would most likely fall out.

Through the use of such a chamfer / bevel or bulge 115 and projection 116 is also achieved that at different sizes or different angles for a variety of stamp assemblies a variety of stamp pad 4 can be made and thus a kind of code system can be constructed.

Furthermore, it is also possible that the chamfer / bevel or bulge 115 and the projection 116 is not formed as a flat angled surface, but that they are formed from a circle segment with corresponding radii corresponding or rectangular, that is, the chamfer 115 is formed semicircular, the can be inserted into a corresponding semicircular projection 116. Of course, it is possible that the chamfer / chamfer or bulge 115 may also be composed of a plurality of surfaces or radii, etc. It is also possible that the surface is not formed 90 ° to the stamp pad carrier 56, but this is preferably angled, so has a third dimension. This ensures that when inserting the ink pad 4 it is simultaneously pressed by the projection 116 in a certain position, the stamp surface can still be used almost completely. It is also possible that on both sides of the ink pad 4 and the receiving device 21 such chamfers 115 and projections 116 are formed, which may be the same or different.

In the illustration according to FIGS. 52, 53, the chamfer / chamfer or bulge 115 extends over the entire width or thickness 100 of the stamp pad 4, wherein the protrusion 116 in the lower part 7 is designed accordingly or covers only a partial area.

In an embodiment according to FIGS. 54 and 55, only a part of the thickness 100 or height of the stamp pad 4 is provided with a chamfer or bulge 115, the remaining area being rectangular. In the stamp 1, in particular in the lower part 7, only a corresponding area is equipped with the projection 90, 23/11/2011 17:14

Of course, it is also possible that on the ink pad 4 a corresponding knob in the form of a chamfer / chamfer or bulge 115 is formed or placed, for which purpose corresponding to the lower part 7 is provided. In a further embodiment according to FIGS. 54 and 55, a cam system is shown. In this case, a cam 117 is arranged on the surface 95 of the lower part 7, which protrudes into the interior, in particular into the window 96, of the receiving device 21. Corresponding thereto, a recess 118 is provided on the ink pad 4, which receives the cam 117 as possible without play. The cam 117 protrudes into the insert 51 of the stamp pad 4, that is, when plugging the stamp 1 with the ink pad 4, the cam 117 is guided into the recess 118 and this then presses directly into the insert 51, or at appropriately trained Insert 51 is disposed in a cavity of the insert 51. By directly immersing in the insert 51 is achieved so that the largest possible stamp imprint can be achieved because the deposit below the cam 117 still exists and there can still be absorbed by the Druckpaltte color, ie, that the stamp imprint up to the Edge is possible. In principle, it is of course possible that the housing of the stamp pad 4 is formed such that in the region of the cam 117, a corresponding indentation is formed with a defined wall thickness, whereby the immersion in the insert 51 is avoided.

The cam 117 is preferably designed to be tapered, wherein the corresponding recess 118 has corresponding chamfers, so that the tapered cam 117 can be received as free of play as possible. The taper of the cam 117 further causes even more insert material below the cam 117 is present and thus the color absorption in the edge region is improved.

The position of the arrangement of the cam 117 close to the region of the resilient means 74 on the surface 95 has proved to be advantageous insofar as a corresponding rigidity of the surface 95 is given in the edge region of the lower part 7 and thus the wall thickness does not need to be reinforced. Preferably, the cam 117 is between projection 90 and 23/11/2011 17:15

Narrow side surface 110 arranged. In addition, it is achieved by off-center positioning of the cam 117 that different positions can be used for different embodiments. It is also possible, for example, for differently sized cams 117 to be used for the coding.

FIGS. 56 and 57 show an embodiment in which it is again prevented that a false stamp pad 4 can be completely inserted into the receiving device 21. For this purpose, a ramp 119 is arranged on one or both side guides 103. Correspondingly, a corresponding opening 120 is disposed on the narrow side surface 110, that is to say, for example, that the housing of the stamp pad 4 is left open corresponding to this area. Of course, it is possible that the housing is of course shaped so that the ramp 119 is received and laterally in the direction of insert 51 is formed according to a wall thickness. By holding open the ink pad 4 is achieved that the insert 51 in turn can extend as much as possible and thus in turn the largest stamp imprint can be generated.

By forming the ramp 119 is achieved that when inserting the ink pad 4 this is pressed over the ramp 119 in a corresponding direction. Thus, a very safe and backlash-free hold is achieved, which for example is absolutely necessary for multi-colored ink pad 4.

The advantage of the embodiments described in FIGS. 52 to 59 is that upon insertion of the stamp pad 4 into the stamp 1, such means 74 are arranged, which prevent complete insertion of the stamp pad 4. Thus, it can not happen that any latching connections or positioning engage, whereby the incorrectly used stamp pad 4 can be easily removed again. It is also possible that different means 74 can be combined with one another on an ink pad 4, for example on one side the chamfer 115 and on the other side the ramp 119 or the chamfer 115 and the cam 117, etc.

It is possible that in the system for preventing the complete insertion into the receiving device 21 according to the embodiments of FIGS. 52 to 59 with the ink pad 4 inserted between the elements, such as the chamfer 115 and the projection 23/11/2011 17:16

Thus, these means are only on insertion or removal directly to each other. It is also possible that the measures provided in the stamp 1 means 74 for preventing the insertion of the ink pad 4 may also be resilient, ie, when inserting the ink pad 4, these means 74, such as the projections 90, bent or pushed away , so that in agreement the ink pad 4 can be used and that again when removing the ink pad 4 must be moved first, whereby the means 74 in turn wegdiückt graze and then the ink pad 4 can be removed.

In addition, it should be noted that in the embodiments described above, the punch 1 with a turning mechanism of about 90 ° is also equipped with a date. For the transport of such stamps, it is of course also possible that appropriate Verschlussklappcn or locking or slip-resistant can be used.

In principle, it is pointed out that in the individual exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 41 described above, these can be combined or combined in a single stamp I or a single stamp pad 4, ie, the individual elements or parts corresponding to the necessary technical solutions , as described in FIGS. 1 to 41, are adapted, so that a combination and use of the individual solutions with each other is possible.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the construction of the stamp 1, this or its components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
